Abstracts

The article is structured around the notion of the poetics of realism in Edward Zebrowski’s film Salvation and in Thomas Mann’s book Magic Mountain. The author tries to describe the relation between the reality of hospital or sanatorium life present in those works to such poetics. Szpulak analyses: auto-reflection of the works’ authors, the process of creation of reflected worlds, the creation of the protagonists, shaping of time and elements of autobiography. The analysis shows that the realism in the work of the Polish director is present in a more consistent way, being the basis of the narrative convention. However realism is not present in the work for its own sake, rather it serves the greater meaning contained in either book or film.
